Peter Heinzer

(b. 1945, Switzerland)

Globi bei der Rettungsflugwacht

Peter Heinzer is an artist of 'Globi' books since 1980. Heinzer succeeded Werner Büchi and has made many books with the popular Swiss parot, starting with book 47, 'Globi im Wilden Westen'. Under Heinzer's reign, the character became more honest and friendly, after the 'Globi' books had been subjected to heavy criticism from educators and child psychologists for being racist and sexist, among other things, in the 1970s. Peter Heinzer has also illustrated three books in the 'Papa Moll' series, that is also published by Globi Verlag.
